Gender & STEM conference: What schools, families, and workplaces can do?
The international Network "Gender and STEM: Educational and Occupational Pathways and Participation" Conference, will be held 3 – 5 July 2014 at the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany. The conference is organised in collaboration by Dr. Rebecca Lazarides and Prof. Dr. Angela Ittel (Department of Educational Psychology, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany) with Prof. Helen Watt (Monash University, Australia). We highlight the roles of schools, families and workplaces for supporting or constraining girls/women and boys/men to choose and persist in STEM, versus other pathways. Empirical, theoretical and policy research will be presented, concerning how socializers and institutions impact individuals’ choices, attitudes and behaviors; implications for educational and vocational training and practice will be discussed. The conference thereby brings together academics, educational practitioners, policymakers, experts and interested public to explore diverse perspectives concerning gendered influences on motivation, achievement, and persistence in STEM. Please email us to join our information list.
